Conjecture on the Euclidean relative sigma-constant of the solid torus

About 1 year old · traced to

Let TT be a solid torus, i.e., a handlebody with one handle. Define

σeuc⁡(M)=sup⁡ΩQ(Ω),\sigma_{\operatorname{euc}}(M)=\sup_{\Omega}Q(\Omega),

where the supremum is taken over all smooth, bounded domains Ω⊂R3\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3 whose closure is diffeomorphic to MM. Let CC be the region enclosed by the image of a Clifford torus under stereographic projection. Solid-torus Euclidean sigma-constant conjecture. The invariant σeuc⁡(T)\sigma_{\operatorname{euc}}(T) is attained by CC. This proposes a distinguished extremal domain for the Euclidean relative σ\sigma-constant among domains whose closure is diffeomorphic to a solid torus; whether the conjecture holds is not resolved in the supplied text.
